Perth Glory have taken a big step into the future by re-signing Spanish star Diego Castro for another two seasons.

The former Johnny Warren Medal winner, who was expected to be making a decision on his future at the end of the season, has made 90 A-League appearances since arriving in 2015 and has scored 38 goals.

Castro, 36, said he was determined to build on the success of the already crowned premiers as they head towards the finals series.

"I have had a fantastic emotional relationship with the members and fans since the first day I arrived here," Castro said.

"I want to keep that love story with the fans going.

"I'd like to thank everyone at the club, the owner, the staff and all my teammates.

"Now I want to help the club add another trophy to the Premiers' Plate.

"With Tony Popovic here, the future of the club is in the best hands possible and I'm so grateful for all the help that he has provided me with this year."

Glory chief executive Tony Pignata said he was thrilled that Castro had inked the new deal.

"It's fantastic that Diego will be able to cement his legacy in terms of what he and the club have achieved and are going to achieve in the future,” Pignata said.

“We are all so happy that he will be a part of what promises to be a very bright future for Perth Glory."

Glory football director Jacob Burns echoed the sentiments.

“Diego has been one of the greatest players that this club and the A-League has seen,” Burns said.

“His legacy is already assured, but we all hope that he can further embellish that legacy by helping the club complete the championship-premiership double this season and secure more silverware in the seasons to come.

"This signing is another clear indication of the club's ambition to achieve sustained success and a testament to the owner's continued support in pursuit of that goal."
